What do you make of this? ATP means AppleTalk Protocol, right?
What happens if I delete this file? Will AppleTalk talk via old-fashioned AppleTalk instead of TCP/IP only?

can't say anything more than "try it and see"!

renaming it would be better than deleting it though

Please report what success or lack thereof you have with the deleting/renaming.

i tried, all that happened was that the system stopped for a while while starting AppleTalk when starting up. I still coudn't see any AppleTalk servers on the network.
